Parent Conduct

Parents are expected to cheer positively, respect officials, respect opponents, respect coaches, and avoid emotional reactions.

There is never a place for sideline coaching, negative comments, public criticism, or hostile behavior.

Development is not always comfortable.

Athletes will face competition, adversity, tough coaching, learning moments, and accountability.

Growth requires resilience.
Parents are expected to reinforce that mindset at home.

OVA follows structured communication protocols.

We ask families to allow athletes to communicate first, avoid emotional conversations after matches, schedule meetings respectfully, and focus on development rather than emotion.

Professional communication creates better outcomes for everyone.

Parents are representatives of OVA.

Negative conversations, online attacks, gossip, or public criticism damage team culture and athlete experience.

If there is an issue, communicate directly and professionally.

OVA families are expected to support the team, the coaching staff, the academy, and ALL athletes.

Great culture is built when families support more than just their own athlete.
